Abstract:A profound knowledge of the dynamics of a thin liquid film and bubble behavior in flow boiling is crucial in a thorough study of the physical mechanisms of boiling crisis, which is important to the performance and safety of light water reactors. To address this, in the present study a series of tests were carried out at various water and air flow rates under atmospheric pressure and different heat fluxes in a horizontal copper channel. We employed a developed confocal optical sensor system to detect the variat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
